[W:531]What Is Wrong with "slut shaming"?

Re: What Is Wrong with "slut shaming"?

It's harmful to the self esteem of the sexually promiscuous.

Only because of the ignorant who judge them erroneously and self-righteously.
 
Re: What Is Wrong with "slut shaming"?

Being a slut does not create good mothers nor wives. I say though in my case to shame women is not my idea of fun.

So? Not everyone even wants kids.
 
Re: What Is Wrong with "slut shaming"?

Abortions kill relationships.

OMG so do unplanned, unwanted, unaffordable kids :doh

And then it also leads to neglected, abused, improperly brought up kids that tend to contribute less to society and continue the cycle of abuse. Jeebus, take off the blinders.
 
Re: What Is Wrong with "slut shaming"?

Yet despite that we still have in this country massive numbers of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.

So? The diseases are curable and there's abortion or babies for the pregnancies whichever the choice.

What's the problem, can you articulate that?
 
Re: What Is Wrong with "slut shaming"?

Because sexual impurity is a scourge on society.

Please be specific...how, besides in terms of society itself creating artificial consequences for it? For example: slut shaming.
 
Re: What Is Wrong with "slut shaming"?

I personally hate the word "slut" with a passion but I'm using it here given everyone will know what I'm talking about.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slut

A recurring theme for people on the right who criticize women's sexual behaviors is that they are "slut shaming". Now according to everything I've read a "slut" or "slutty behavior" involves sexual promiscuity. Though it is almost always used to refer to women it can (and has) been used regarding men as well.


My point is this:


Shouldn't sexual promiscuity be something we should treat as "shameful"? What possible redeeming and positive attribute does it have? No matter your views on abortion, or premarital or extramarital sexual morality shouldn't sexual promiscuity be something that everyone on every side of the belief spectrum rightfully condemns?


What could possibly be wrong about shaming people who engage in such behavior?

Because how people conduct their personal lives is nobody's business. If someone wants to sleep around that's on them. It's not for the rest of us to know.

They should have controlled their urges better, like drug users. I think you called them 'idiots', and said whatever harm came their way, they deserved it. What's good for the goose..
 
Re: What Is Wrong with "slut shaming"?

As I've said, it is damaging to the culture and society that I and my family have to live in.

Please be specific in how it is damaging?
 
Re: What Is Wrong with "slut shaming"?

Oh, c'mon...its thier religious elitism....God appointed them as all that is pure to rule over us, the unwashed heathen masses....the beauty of zealotry is they get to justify thier hatred and discrimination because thier god of morality told them it is just and right.

Thats how religion and morality works...you can dehumanize anyone that does not fit into your notion of what is proper.
Its the "new racism" of the new Century.

Why? Please explain why 2 consenting adults should control their desire to enjoy sex?
 
Re: What Is Wrong with "slut shaming"?

It's mostly women who slut shame other women. How is it that people are this clueless in 2019?

I call BS on that. Please prove your claim.

Certainly this thread shows you are wrong.

Men love promiscuous women, so you're barking up the wrong tree.

well you seem to be an asshole when you do it


i like sex so why should i bother people about sex?
 
Re: What Is Wrong with "slut shaming"?

I didn't say that. I said that you expressed a viewpoint of drug addicts as idiots who should have known better. Slutty people are sex addicts.

Nonsense.

Drugs are dangerous, addictive and can lead to all kind of crimes and a destroyed life.

Sex usually gives pleasure and in itself is not a danger to anyone. Also, promiscuous people are not sex addicts, at least they do not have to be. You can be in a committed relationship and still be a sex addict.

Your comparison of drug addicts to promiscuous people is nonsense.
 
Re: What Is Wrong with "slut shaming"?

Men love promiscuous women, so you're barking up the wrong tree.

And they are extremely hypocritical in condemning them as well.

Wow, that was quite a fail from you.
 
Re: What Is Wrong with "slut shaming"?

I didn't say that. I said that you expressed a viewpoint of drug addicts as idiots who should have known better. Slutty people are sex addicts.

No they're not. Please provide some actual research that proves the bold.

Are people that ride horses every day 'addicts?' People that ski or drink wine or run everyday 'addicts?' Jeebus the depths of ignorance on display from you! Since when is doing something pleasurable on a regular basis an 'addiction?'

That's one of the most ignorant things I've ever read. The instinct to reproduce is the strongest instinct on earth. :doh
 
Re: What Is Wrong with "slut shaming"?

Note, almost half a dozen responses and no one is bothering to even attempt to explain why sexual promiscuity should not be condemned.

Why do you care? Its none of my business, and none of yours. Why expend the energy on something that effects you in no way.
 
Re: What Is Wrong with "slut shaming"?

Why should anyones sexual activities be anyones business except thier own?

Dont worry about what happens in other peoples bedrooms....if its not hurting you or anyone else, leave them alone.

Why would anybody know if a person is a s*** unless they were advertising it for all to hear...
 
Re: What Is Wrong with "slut shaming"?

Why are you concerned with the sexual activities of other people?

Because it leads to the degradation of civilized society...

Your straw man argument is indeed ridiculous. That's why you felt the need to make it in the first place.

I said people who engage in 'slutty behavior' are sex addicts, which would entail having lots of sex partners in short periods, random hook ups, and the inability to control their behavior. Sex addiction looks a lot like drug addiction; addicts are controlled by their urges, and go through depression if denied their stimulus.

Both can be debilitating, lead to health problems, and death. You and lursa seem unable to grasp that sex addiction is a thing.

Well who consumes pornography? Men mostly. The idea of a slutty woman who is ready to go at all times is arousing to men. That doesn't make it healthy though.

Sex addiction is a thing, it however is not like drug addiction nor does it have anything to do with "sluts". That is a distinction you seem unable to grasp.
